What is DNA after all??

Is it so Important?

And RNA?

History of DNA

Early scientists thought protein was the cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA

Proteins were composed of 20 different amino acids in long polypeptide chains

Page 21: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

History of DNA

Fred Griffith worked with virulent S and nonvirulent R strain Pneumoccocus bacteria

He found that R strain could become virulent when it took in DNA from heat-killed S strain

Study suggested that DNA was probably the genetic material

History of DNA

She was able to deduce that the phosphate groups of DNA must be positioned on the outside of the molecule

This work was of vital importance to the later discovery of the double helix.

Rosalind Franklin - X-ray photo of DNA (1952)

Page 24: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

Watson and Crick - described the DNA molecule from Franklin’s X-ray (1953)

They built the first DNA model using Franklin’s X-rays

History of DNA

Page 25: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

DNA Stands for:

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Made up of subunits called nucleotides

Nucleotide: 1. phosphate group 2. 5-carbon sugar 3. Nitrogenous base

Sugar(deoxyribose)

Page 27: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

DNA Two strands coiled

called a double helix

Sides made of a pentose sugar Deoxyribose bonded to phosphate (PO4) groups by phosphodiester bonds

Center made of nitrogen bases bonded together by weak hydrogen bonds

Page 28: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

Watson & Crick proposed…• DNA had specific pairing between the nitrogen bases:

ADENINE – THYMINE

CYTOSINE - GUANINE

• DNA was made of 2 long stands of nucleotides arranged in a specific way called the “Complementary Rule”

Antiparallel Strands One strand of

DNA goes from 5’ to 3’ (sugars)

The other strand is opposite in direction going 3’ to 5’ (sugars)

Chargaff’s Rule

Adenine must pair with Thymine

Guanine must pair with Cytosine

Their amounts in a given DNA molecule will be about the same.

Genetic Diversity… Different

arrangements of NUCLEOTIDES in a nucleic acid (DNA) provides the key to DIVERSITY among living organisms.

RNA

Stands for: Ribonucleic acid

Polynucleotide

Usually single stranded

Page 38: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

RNA

Made up of nucleotides containing the base pairs A, U, C, G

Replication theories

Page 40: Biological molecules (chemical tests and nucleic acids) proteins and Lipids recap AS Biology [JM}

Semiconservative Model of Replication

Idea presented by Watson & Crick The two strands of the parental molecule

separate, and each acts as a template for a new complementary strand

New DNA consists of 1 PARENTAL (original) and 1 NEW strand of DNA

Parental DNA
